The simple solution? Contact your state legislators and urge them to pass a bill that will award your state's EC votes to the winner of the national popular vote, effective only once states representing a majority of EC votes have pledged to do so as well.

Whiz, Bang, you got a national popular vote without having to get anything through our broken federal legislature.

BuckTurgidson:we'll just have to make those pesky urban votes worth less than Real American votes are

They already are.

Now that we have computers and don't have to worry about actually finding seats for everybody in the same room, can we please get on with repealing Public Law 62-5 and allow more Representatives? It's pretty insulting that a handful of people in WY end up with and order-of-magnitude more representation than all of us in CA.

/bad enough we (and similar urban states) have to pay so much welfare to the fly-over states; their votes counting more is insane

Rapmaster2000:Obama is using the powers of the federal government to pull people and money out of the suburbs and into the cities. "Although it remains almost totally unknown to the public,"

This is already happening. They're building a Wal-Mart not far from my house. Wake up, sheeple!

What these GOP idiots don't even understand (always being about 30 years behind in their mental stereotypes), is that the Blahs are moving out of the cities and into the suburbs. Hell, Washington, DC is almost no longer Chocolate City, since lots of young whites and Asians and Latinos are moving into Southwest DC,and the Blahs have been moving to PG County in Maryland for the last 30 years.

/So, GOP: suburbs are now "bad", urbans are now "good".//well, not as 'good' as those dependably old white semi-rurals, but what the hell...

MJMaloney187: You anti-white types are going to be really sorry when we leave you behind to fend for yourselves. You know that right?

------------------------

Excuse me Titsy, but I am white and happen to be far less frightened by the fact that minorities have a say in this democracy than I am by the rhetoric coming from the Tea Party, which just happens to be all white. They talk about seccession. The last group of white supremacists who tried to secede got their shoeless asses stomped into the ground because they were too stupid to realize that you don't go to war with and industrializing neighbor while you have only 16 linear miles of railroad track laid.

Lazy hillbillies didn't have a mass exodus when we took their farm equipment away from them, they won't leave now, unfortunately. Where would you go? Everything NOT you apparently scares the bejeesus out of you. You're already right where you belong, in the world that you built: living in shiat stained red-states that take more from the Fed than they contribute, surrounded by trailers, meth addicts and Romney stickers. I guess if you're still flying the Confederate flag of the illiterate lazy assed loser, a Romney sticker does still make sense.

El_Perro:On Monday, as Sen. Carrico was talking up his bill, the Pew Research Center brought together a group of secretaries of state and campaign strategists. The topic: Whether the voting snafus of 2012 could be fixed. Democrats were interested. Republicans wanted to slow down and really think about this. Did urbanites have a harder time voting? Yes. Did that hurt Democrats? Well, sure.

"I don't hold out any hope that there's going to be a bipartisan agreement," said Scott Tranter, who'd consulted for the Romney campaign. "At the end of the day, we're all campaign officials, and we want to do whatever we can to help our side. Sometimes that's voter ID. Sometimes that's longer lines. Whatever it may be."

Isn't partisan control of elections great?

We're the only advanced nation that does that.

We sorely need to make some changes in the way we handle elections. There should be a national standard for federal elections, for instance.

Man, what is going on today? You're the third person with whom I've had to bipass "derpy green" straight to "stormfront red".

I thought it was just me. I've seen four or so today that I've never seen before. Out of nowhere they are all over a bunch of different threads herping the derp. Probably some new division of NewsCorp.

naughtyrev:Why doesn't he just come out and say that he wants to count urban people as 3/5s of a person?

Why so negative? Don't think of it as giving urban voters three fifths of a vote -- think of it as giving rural voters five thirds of one. It's like giving out extra votes! We should thank him for being so generous.

Also, who cares? It's a news aggregate site. If you want something that will reinforce your opinions, go to WND.

poot_rootbeer:I have in the past considered this same idea he proposes as a way of bringing the Electoral College back towards its intended purpose of balancing the peoples' interests with the states' interests.

But as long as districting is done by partisan schemers playing gerrymandering games with citizen's rights, it will never ever be more fair than the current system.

The problem in that is that there will always be gerrymandering, as long as it can be justified politically or demographically. Though it's completely a valid point. There are places where rural residents just flat out will never feel represented, because they're usually 180 degrees different than their state's urban populations. It's not exactly an easy thing to fix, either.

I'm not your manservant you pompous self-important prima donna. I'm not paid to steer online opinion (not accusing anyone here.. of course) so I'll respond to you when I get around to it. I have things I'd rather do than prove an argument to people who promptly ignore it and never amend their views.

A primer- LinkWell since it's being done in 2 states already... who championed the law in Nebraska?Well the bill was created by Dianna Schimeck... who is a democrat. It was narrowly passed by a vote of 25-23 before it was signed into law by Ben Nelson... who is a Democrat.Don't believe that link? Have another. LinkWhy, in fact, Democrats were proud of this all the way up to as recently as May of this year- LinkNebraska Republicans tried to change it in 2010- The Democratic Guv stopped them. Link

So there you are, Democrats liked this idea until Republicans proposed it.

Now, I just spent time doing research which will no doubt be ignored. I assume, like in the past, no one will bother to apologize to me for the vicious slurs despite being correct.

Lost Thought 00:If I ever meet these people in person, they will not survive the day.

So you advocate the indiscriminate murder of people who you disagree with politically. The hacks who claim the Tea Party is violent will never call you out on it so feel free to be as unamerican as you can be.
